Hi There,

I am a newbie to Linux, but is trying to learn and in that procees I ran
into following problem, can somebody help me.

I am getting this information "initlog: error while loading shared librarie:
libpopt.so.0" when booting my redhat 8.0, after installation of Gcc + Glibc.
my machine stops and I only have possibility to log into some kind of
recovery command line. "repair filesystem" I have tried to run e2fsck -c
and -p but it did not help.

:-) Michael

Well, don't "replace" libc then. Your system is now effectively ruined for
you.  You can't "replace" the fundamental library on which the rest of the
system depends and expect to live!

I would guess you have made a well-documented "architecture error", and
installed a different arch libc (although a valid minor upgrade number)
to your present one. That is a hole. Read the RH pages about this
predicament and do what they say to do.

Read this bug report too. It gives lot of useful ways on how to deal
with this mess:
